The views from the rims of the amphitheaters are breath taking – exhibits of the work of millions of years of wind and water, which broke down the limestone of the Claron formation to transform it into hoodoos of every hue, size and shape. I went to Bryce, and a few of the surrounding National Parks, this summer for vacation and it was simply amazing. I highly recommend it for everyone. The Pro Bowl: It's time to vote for the best players, regardless of conference. The NFL's top two vote-getters on offense and defense become team captains for Deion Sanders' team and Jerry Rice's team. In a fantasy draft style setting, the captains pick from the voted all-stars to form the teams. And when the stars are realigned, it's teammate versus teammate in the new Pro Bowl: Unconferenced. So with a little extra time this weekend, make sure you Vote for the Pro Bowl. Get one perspective on who should go, here. WalterFootball.com My Take on the Day: Well, here we are... riding the magic of a 1 game win streak into the bye week. Its a wondrous thing we call the Bills. For as much as we get our hearts ripped out week after week, year after year, it hurts most when other teams get to play football and our guys are sitting at home. If for no other reason, the bye week sucks. Still, it's a good time to rest and reflect. Hence, that's what I'll be doing, maybe watching a little football - at the very least sneaking in a few scores. But, mostly, I'll spend the day trying to enjoy the Exploratorium, a passing autumn day, the sights and sounds of a busy city street and those with me. All the while, keeping in mind that the Bills are a young team; hoping they can build off last week's win. The Bills are in a decent spot. Not for a playoff run. My delusional days are long since past. But, for a young, growing team they appear to have a solid foundation. Can Marrone turn this ship around and make us credible? You bet he can. Will EJ continue learning, gaining confidence and become the franchise QB we haven't seen since 1996? I certainly don't know why he can't! Will Kiko break rookie records on his way to becoming DORY? In a word... you damn right. These are the thoughts that will keep me entertained this bye week. And in the meantime, may the Dolphins, Jets, and Patriots lose... heck every AFC team loses this week, in my perfect world. So, happy bye week fellow Bills' fans. I look forward to the Falcons, but for a day, let's enjoy the defeat of every AFC team while we get to enjoy a day that's productive, restful, and hopefully enjoyable. Go Bills!!

plenzmd1 Posted November 24, 2013 Share Posted November 24, 2013 Very nice Dan! Thank You. Couple of things 1) some of those pictures took me a while...that was interesting 2) I have never been to Bryce, daughter went this past summer and still talks about it. 3) Dana need to grab a sandwich 4) you are wrong..till they say the Bills are eliminated, I will think they are making it LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Posted November 24, 2013 Author Share Posted November 24, 2013 I'm not arguing at all about #4. I've been wrong in the past, and with any luch at all... I'll be wrong in the future. I really loved Bryce! We did a house rental for the week, nearby, which was surprisingly affordable, and hiked in Bryce, Zion, and the North Rim. They have trails suited for kids, all the way to serious hiker. So, something to please everyone. But, Bryce was amazing. Even non nature lovers will be blown away by it. Just an amazing part of the world. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gugny Posted November 24, 2013 Share Posted November 24, 2013 I walked my dog at about 8am and nearly froze to death after 15 minutes. No yardwork. No Christmas decorations. I hate this weather. I don't even have anything to make my normal Sunday football food. No Bills game is !@#$ing me all up. I guess I'll get drunk later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YoloinOhio Posted November 24, 2013 Share Posted November 24, 2013 Does anyone have the link to the teams we want to win today/tonight to help with our playoff hopes? It was down to a science, even potential tiebreakers including NFC teams. I saw it in one of the threads earlier this week... K, couple of things.

They don't rest starters, so them winning doesn't really help us week 17, but it's also unlikely that they will lose enough games to surrender the division.

Max997 Posted November 24, 2013 Share Posted November 24, 2013 The 1:00 games are terrible today, can't decide which game to watch. Chiefs Chargers looks like best game but I have a feeling that's a snoozer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jaybee Posted November 24, 2013 Share Posted November 24, 2013 What games are on today locally? Jets vs Ravens? I'm a big Ravens fan today. I'm doing the Ray Lewis dance as I type this Jets Ravens on NBC, Panthers Dolphins on fox. Not sure about 4:00. And that is according to the channel guide on directtv, which has been known to be incorrect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
